This is one of the nearest ancient city parts to the parking and public transport area but, along with the Apollo temple and the amphitheatre, one of the most stunning. Great to think how it may have worked when fully functioning but some noticeboards also give guidance. A must-see for any visitor to Side.

The archway that is a beacon for tourists trying to get an amazing photo is on a busy road. There is a pathway to the side that is wide enough to allow people to take photos whilst other walk past. The archway itself has obviously been altered to look the way it does and in my opinion is probably to strengthen the site and to avoid accidental damage caused by motorist. Still, it is rather beautiful and worthy of a visit. Whilst waiting your turn to get a photo here (it does get busy but doesn't seem to have impatient people pushing in if the see you waiting) it is thoroughly entertaining watching the vehicles creating gridlock and beeping horns as it's every driver for themselves to get through the archway. The bonus of this place is that it is free to visit and the amphitheatre is literally next to it. The whole area by this is a mixture of building and ruins that are mostly free to visit.

Side old town is peppered with ancient ruins and monuments. As soon as you disembark from the dolmus at the bus station you will find history in front of you The ancient city, is very much still visible. You can take the main road to the left and walk along the colonnaded streets to the ampitheatre, or take a detour among the fields around the bus station and explore the ancient houses, hospitals, churches. You can spend all day here just wandering from ruin to ruin. The stones are a haven for lizards who bask in the sun, and the birdlife is amazing too. The paved streets of the ancient romans are still in tact, and many of the old pillars still stand along the sides of the streets. The ampitheatre is a must see, and as you head down the peninsula to the see you will find the beautiful temple of apollo- a great place to see the sun set. Interspersed with the ancient ruins are modern souvenir stalls and cafes, so you can spend all day here at your leisure and even take a dip in the sea, soak up the sun or visit the harbour. Beautiful place to visit
